When I wrote Bullets, Blood and Stones I wanted it to be a book that made everyone think. I pictured teenagers reading the story and talking to their peers in study groups about Scott, Bruce and Charlie. I pictured them shaking their fists at Kony but I also saw my readers closing the book and smiling because Charlie danced.

As an intermediate teacher, I’m always looking for a novel that will not only be of interest to my students, but also challenge the way they view themselves and their place in society.  Donna White’s “Bullets, Blood and Stones” was an ideal fit on both counts.
